Origin of Some Political Phrases.

"Where do you go from heres"
 ''I go to my home in Mansfield, where in tend to take a solid weeks rest"
 'You're going home to look after your fences, of course?"
 The senator laughed heartily.
 tDo you know" he inquired, Chow that expression originateda Not Then I'll tell you. While was secretary of the treas ury I came home to Mansfield for 8 few deys at one time As soon as got there there was an influx of news paper correspondents from all parts. Some of them announced that I was getting ready to run for governor; others that I was working up boom for the presi- dential nomination. One of them came to me and boldly asked me what I was doing in Ohio. It just happened that on that day I had contracted with man to repa1r some fences on my place that were in tumble down condition. So when that newspaper man asked me what I was doing in Ohio I told him that I had come home to look after my fences He published what I said, the expression was taken ul by the papers and went all over. It has even been used on some occasions in the British parliament It's funny how these political expressions originate. In some city just before election the Democrats em ployed an immense number of laborers to lay water pipes That's what you rise to the expression laying pipes. You remember that at one time the Democrats were called Loco focos. During a Democratic meeting ir New York the participants became SO tur- bulent that it became necessary to ex- tingush the lights. The participants left in total darkness, pulled out loco focos, as the old fashioned matches were called. That's how the name originated. --Enquirer Interview with Senator Sher-

Iowa politics for many years as s'the big dis | tillery." Men interested in it were infuen- l tial members of the dominant party, and as l the institution gave employment to many hands and made a market for much grain, it | was sought when the prohibitory law was passed to make an exception in it's favor to the extent of permitting it to continue the | manufacture of liquor for exportation. For a time this policy worked we'll, but of late the courts have been ruling against the dis tillery and it was recently closed by an in
 junction. By leasing the capacity of this
 distillery the whisky pool can keep it from
 on hand.
 In a lecture recently delivered by Professor Schwaekhofer to the Vienna Hygienic society much interesting information concerning beer was given. The birthplace of beer is Egypt. papyrus has been discovered on which father reproaehes his son for loung- ing about in taverns and drinking too much beer. From the Egyptians the art of brew ing descended to the Philippians. While the Romans despised beer, the Germans of the north of Europe fully appreciated it's good qualities. However, the refreshi ngs draught became m ore popular in the first half of the Middle Ages. In the beginning only convents obtained the monopoly of brewing beer, but later on the privilege was extended to lay corporations. In Austria the first brewery was established in Vienna in 1860, and beer soon became the favorite beverage of all classes of society. At present the yearly production throughout the whole world amounts to 14o, o,OoO, ,o0O hectolitres, England taking the lead with 46,000,000. Professor Schwackhofer thinks that beer fully deserves the designation of s'liquid bread," as it is un- doubtedly nutritious, and less liable to be adulterated than wine

TANNERS, SOCKETI ES.

An interesting measure is pending in the Illinois legislature. It is act to provide for the incorporation, management and regu- lation of pawners' societies, and limiting the range of compensation to be paid for ad- articles. It seeks to lift pawnbroking to a legitimate and useful plane.
 The act provides for the incorporation of pawners' associations, with 8 mipimum cap- ital stock of hundred thousand dollars and maximum of million. The usual methods of incorporation are employed, save that one of the directors must be appointed by the governor and one by the mayor of the city in which the bank is located. The bank may desirable; it's interest charge must not exceed 3 per cent. 8 month, and one-half of 1 per cent. for storage, insurance, etc.; it may loan upon two-th1rds the assessed value of manu- factured gold and silver, and upon two- thirds the value of all other chattels. With failure to redeem the pawner is not to lose his equity in the proceeds of the sale of his pledge.
 This bill is strongly supported by the Chi cago Herald, which says: The whole'plan of pawnbroking as it is practiced in Chicago is disgrace to American civilization. Millions of capital are invested in Chicago in legiti- mate banking business. Discounts are made to borrowers upon their own credit or their credit and the credit of an indorser, or upon their credit backed by collateral security representing personal property. These dis counts run at the current rate of 6 to 8 per cent. per annum. For the risk taken as good or better security is rendered 8 pawnbroker, whose charge is 10 per cent. month upon the loan made upon articles of personal prep erty, plus vexatious additional charges that cause oftentimes the con6seation of the prop erty. The loan at the pawnbroker's and the discount at the bank are obviously different transactions, which must be treated from a different standpoint, but no additional risk, burden of storage or any other excuse what ever warrants the crushing disadvantage un- der which the chattel borrower labors and is often crowded to the wall.
 If this bill should become law, as it now seems likely to, it would probably result in benefit to the worthy poor. It will, of course, be fought by those who making money out of the present way of doing pawn broking in Illinois.
